New arrangements mUde by the
postal department with the Ashlond
Klttinatli Falls suige have been com
pleted and will render mail connec
tions with Portland and other points
in tho WJllamctte volley far more
.satisfactory, according to Postmaster
John McCall. Instead of the Port
land mall being sent to Weed and
waiting there for some hours for
north or southbound mall train, the
mull Is sent to Ashland over the
Ureen Springs road in time to catch
a north-bound t:uln at 5:30 In in
ufternoon. A letter mailed for Port
land nt noon will arrive in Portland,
by this new system, the following
morning, In time for the morning
distribution.
Tho latest time that mail nmy be
dispatched on the Ashland stage Is
12:50 P. M. The stago leaves at
1:30 I'. M. Southbound mall must
be deposited not later thfin 9:4.1 I

leaves at 10:30 A. M.
ITho Ashland stage arrives with
first-class mall and da'ly pnpe v
from the north nnd so'ith at 12 noon
each day. This mall .i placed in the

The Ashland stage leaving at 1:30

Spike Labor Guns '
LONlX)N, Jan. 15. Tho kingis
speech from tho thron.n road by King
fleorge at the formal opening of
parliament in the house of lords to
day, referred to the recent rejection
XIN'Q GEORGE V
ot protection by the oountry, and In-
dkated me government naa aoairi
doned e' eh a policy. At the same time
the speec-H.'- whreli 'Wai-roirarrted lis
'.ho swan song of the Djildwln min
istry made a shrewd attempt to spike .
the guns, of the labor party by dis
cussing bills which the Baldwin gov
ernment would submit to benefit the
working classes. .
The labor ''party today decided to
bring up the question ot confidence
In the Baldwin government during
the debate on the reply to the speech
from the throne. . - J
The king's speeeh included pro
posals tor the betterment of indus
trial conditions,. a provlron for much
needed houses, for workers, amelloruV
tion of unemployment and readjust
ment of old age pensions. In fact,
tho labor party Itself could haTdly
have issued a more striking pronoun-cement,
" "'. . . .
It was not that the conservatives
felt such a program would defer the ,
day of the government's downfall,
but rather that It would put them in
the position of saying lateY, : "The
conseravties would have given tuti
peopla all that labor now proposes,"
